Coach Talk

Iron Eagle
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Iron Eagle. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Derion Kendrick and Deebo Samuel), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against QO_100 Million and see what happens.
blayde's Neat Team
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (seven WR, four TE) collectively got a grand total of 51 targets in Week 15. With only 31 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
